Minerals are good for everyone, but they’re especially important for women.

A 2022 study found that women are at higher risk of mineral deficiency than men , particularly in minerals that support hormone balance, sleep, stress, and mood. [ * ]


As a woman, your body is in constant flux—from shorter-term cycles like menstruation to major transitions like menopause. Throughout those shifts, minerals play an essential role in keeping you well.


Here’s a look at why minerals are so nourishing for women, and how you can use them to look and feel your best.

Women Use More Minerals Than Men


In an absolute sense, men need more minerals than women. On average, men are about 30% larger, and their bodies require more minerals as a result.


However, women often use up their mineral stores faster than men do. While men’s bodies stay fairly stable, women’s bodies are constantly changing, and in many special situations we need a lot of a particular mineral in a short amount of time. As a result, women often feel the effects of mineral depletion more .

A good example is menstruation. During your period you lose a significant amount of mineral-rich blood, along with the iron it contains. That’s fine if you have plenty of stored iron—but if your iron stores run low, your mitochondria (which need iron to produce energy) begin to shut down, and you can end up with fatigue, brain fog, and even premature aging. [ * ]


Mineral needs also increase dramatically during menopause. It’s common for women to lose significant bone density during menopause, in part because our bodies pull stored calcium , copper , phosphorus , and potassium from our bones to try to maintain falling hormone production. [ * ]


There are also general lifestyle factors that cause women to use more minerals. According to 2023 data from the American Psychological Association, women are about 50% more likely to experience chronic stress than men are[ * ]—and stress is a major cause of mineral depletion.


When you’re stressed, your body uses magnesium at a much faster rate. It protects your cells from damage and helps reduce the psychological impact of stress. But if you’re stressed continuously over time, your magnesium stores will become depleted. Low magnesium makes you more susceptible to future stress, further depleting your magnesium and starting a vicious cycle that’s difficult to escape. [ * ]


Finally, women are more likely to experience depression and anxiety, both of which are tied to low magnesium and zinc , [ * ] two of the most common mineral deficiencies in women. [ * ] The good news is that women are also especially quick to recover from depression and anxiety when we replenish magnesium and zinc, according to research over the last 20 years. [ * ][ * ][ * ]

FAQs

Can I take BEAM Minerals with my other supplements?

Yes, in fact, BEAM Minerals will enhance the bioavailability of all your other supplements.

What is the difference between Micro-BOOST™ and Electrolyze™?

Electrolyze™ is primarily composed of Fulvic Mineral Complexes . Fulvic complexes are small molecules that provide inter-cellular transport for nutritional elements into the cells and carry bio-waste out of the cells. Fulvic complexes are flavonoids , which provide many benefits in the body.

Micro-BOOST™ is primarily composed of the Humic Mineral Complexes . Humic complexes are large molecules that are extra-cellular, meaning they do not enter the cells but stay outside the cells. They are highly-charged molecules that attract, through their electrical charge, bio-waste, free radicals and heavy metals. They ultimately carry bio-waste out of the body. Thus, we call them “Nature’s Janitor”.

How many milligrams (mg) of an electrolyte (Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium, Calcium, etc.) is there in BEAM Minerals?

The quantities of each element in BEAM Minerals products are measured in “parts per million” (ppm), rather than the “milligrams” (mg). Here is the information which usually helps to understand the difference:

Milligrams (mg) vs parts per million (ppm)

In comparing our products to other supplements, people want to know how much of an electrolyte is in our products (like potassium, magnesium, sodium, calcium). Usually they are looking for an amount in milligrams (mg).

We have a hard time answering that question, because the electrolytes (and other elements) in BEAM Minerals products are measured in parts per million (ppm). So how can consumers compare?

The answer is a little complex, but here’s the high points.

The electrolytes in BEAM Minerals products are provided in “trace” amounts that are completely dissolved and thus 100% bio-available, immediately introduced into your circulation when you consumed them and will produce and active effect.

When you take a 320mg pill of magnesium, your body is only able utilize about 12-20% of it as it takes some time because your body has to digest it first. Whatever is not dissolved gets processed out of your body.

When you take a capful of liquid Electrolyze™ and/or Micro-BOOST™, you receive approximately 5.22 ppm of magnesium in which 100% of the magnesium is immediately available to your body. In addition, an important to know is that the magnesium in BEAM Minerals products stay in your system much longer building up healthy levels as you continue to take it daily.
